Romania - Argentina, World Cup 1994

[pigjubby]

I went to that game. Best gam ever. Hagi, Hagi, Hagi!!!!

[ahonen111]

one of the best national team games in the history. Club games? must be manchester-bayern

[dorisbforzainter]

hagi the best playmaker ever

[MegaFoch]

HAGI!!

[brianclough]

Arguably the best game. Hagi was simply magnificent, like a submarine, he disappear all round the pitch and suddenly appear with a telling pass. It was fitting he also scored.

[metalheart1987]

The best match at WC '94!

HAI ROMANIA!

[nevzatela]

HAGİİİİİİİİİİİİİİ

[DrStrangebomb1993]

WTF the commentators are morons, Lupescu didn't score in this game as they foolishly claim at 0:45, Dumitrescu scored twice and Hagi once.

[cfsro]

Sa imi bag pula in America de sud, le-am dat sa ne tina minte!!! MUIE ARGENTINA

[waitingfordoom]

dumitrescu's 2nd goal is the most beautiful goal in the history of football.

amazing! no one can score like that anymore !

[TheStan234]

WOW i can't believe that Argentina sucked at mondial '94 Romania beat them 3-2 and Bulgaria 2-0 i mean WOW 0.0

[PrettyPiZZAface]

0:50. 5 romanians against 5 argentines around the argentine penalty are, and the score is 1:1. very bad defending from argentina. after bilardo has gone, they we always shake in defense, 2010 was especially bad. we really must improve the defense

[ChicoNahui]

I was there!! Great match.

[ULTRAS4steaua]

@ChicoNahui

what a privilege !!

[XxiJeXcOgUrLxX]

I hope Romania is in World Cup 2014 !

It's my country, I would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY!!

[fericitchannel]

shame romania is not in the world cup this year

[pcaminador]

Games like this are what the world cup is all about. 3 classic goals in 1 match from underrated Romania, the 2nd particularly cute. And that's no mean feat against crafty Argentina, even without Maradona who had gone off the rails un poco at this time. A pity Romania didn't go all the way in this World Cup (1994).

[360gamesreviews]

Lucky that they removed maradona. Or that cup would be won by Argentina! Argentina campeon del Mundo! And I f you dont like it go fuck yourself!

[sushimasta28]

@360gamesreviews I dont agree, but I like your style. Thumbs up!

[munecaeburro]

rumania 94, equipazo que no se repetirá por muchos años

[CARONTE8219]

argaytina con una verga entre el culo

[mrnuts10]

fk argentine hai romania!!!!!!!!

[CARONTE8219]

argaytina una coladera jajajajaja

[0652411]

romania would won world cup...hahaha.... world cup can win just strong mental teams as germany or italy

[allwiev]

@0652411 u are really stupid s.u.ker

[Lee1L]

@0652411 we saw the strong "mental" teams of germany and italy in 94// :))))

[Refresh89]

mi se rupe sufletul cand vad ce urat joaca acum....pacat...urasc sa ma gandesc ca vine campionatul mondial si Romania din nou sta acasa....speram ca isi va reveni candva ...RESPECT SQUAD 94'...RESPECT HAGI...!!!

[elmagodehoy]

Islas que paja que tenia!!

[ppatiash]

es una verga islas

[wandrestar1982]

el tercer gol de Rumania es igual a uno que hace Brasil contra Italia en México 70, Pelé hace el pase al vacío y Carlos Alberto remata al arco.

Los rumanos tenían un equipazo en el mundial del 94, me simpatizaba mucho ese equipo pese a que le ganaron a Colombia por 3 a 1.

Saludos!!

[Concao066]

@wandrestar1982 Sin Embargo pese a que fueron brillantes ante argentina y colombia fueron inoperantes ante suecia de Martin Dahlin y Thomas Brooling y Nahakand Mills

[morlock1972]

What about the conditions. It was hot ... hot overthere. Above 30 degrees celcius?

[jeep3r]

@morlock1972 I don't think that the heat is any excuse for argent, given the fact that romania is a country were you rarly get heat over 33 degrees

[boggydance]

@jeep3r

i belive you are not romanian if you think that we don*t have high temperatures. in the summer it is usually around 40°C and it gets at times at 45-47 °C specially in the cities

[morlock1972]

The best play ever during a world cup.

[HeIIvisPresley]

Love the build up to the 2nd Romanian goal - very smart one

[danprolut]

buna echipa

[NiNhosgo]

por culpa de Maladroga!!!!

[adistan83]

who was Romania then and who is now...

[vulturandrei]

ROMANIA ,ROMANIA,

[hoysecumplen]

hagi the best

[catalinromaniaful]

ce echipa! nu o sa mai avem asemenea echipa niciodata!

[dododo0777]

Dumistrecu y Hagi una dupla de excelencia.¡¡¡

[damir505]

Romania 1994. - the finest technical squad in the history of universe.

Respect!

[brianclough]

@damir505 Hard to disagree, Romania was a really special team technical football wise, under the great Anghel Iordanescu. While I doubt they would have won the Cup, they should have beaten Sweden and given themselves a real fighting chance.

[danielpereiratorres]

@damir505

history of universe?

[minykzz]

FORTA ROMANIAA!! puteam sa castigam wc,dar suedia o avut noroc cu portaru,plm....

[lodehector]

islas te comiste 2 goles!!!!!

[seij555]

Hagi was the best playmaker of that wc

[mih751]

Doamne eram cei mai buni...cea mai buna echipa care a existat si o sa existe in Romanica asta saraca.

[MrFedor1989]

no hablandos de gol de maradona en copa mondial en 86 porque es un gol DE MANO...maradona es caca....cocainero no futbolero......GOL DE MANO....dont ever forget that he used his hand....maradona is a piece of shit

[Blainder]

Estoy de acuerdo con MrFedor1989... Maradona es cualquiera... UN GOL DE MANO!!! Una verguenza... ensima se sienten orgullosos... GANARON CON MANO MANEGRA!!!

Y ni hablar de la tapa que era todo por la guerra de Malvinas...

Argentina se tiene que sentir orgulloso por otras cosas... No por un gol de Maradona... CON LA MANO!!

[FUCKTHEREST92]

I think that if Romana didn't lose against Sweden in quarter finals, they would've won the World Cup.

[damir505]

I agree..they maybe could win it, but Swedes were lucky that day. :(

Romania vs. Brazil...now that would be a match. ;)

[thegamingtrout]

@FUCKTHEREST92 yeah i know even the brazilians were affraid of romania at the game with sweeden

[FUCKTHEREST92]

@thegamingtrout As you can see in this video, Romania basically tought Argentina what's football all about. Maradona was part of the 94's Argentina team but he didn't play obviously because he was drug addicted. But even if he played, that could not have changed the score in Argentina's favour.

[danielpereiratorres]

@FUCKTHEREST92

whaat?

[LorcaAdonai]

fuck argentina

[X1PK]

pizdosh..romanian golden times

[lesanecrooks7]

right, just like Bulgaria :)

[lukegymnast]

romania used to rule

[Aguz25]

No es por restarle méritos a Rumania, que tenía un equipazo y jugaba muy bien, pero Islas tuvo responsabilidad en todos los goles por estar mal posicionado, generalmente regalando el palo que debería haber protegido.

[NMserver]

fueron unos golazos... no viste los pases -.- una pinturita.

[gorordoma]

jajajajaj que risa me dio como les ganaron a los hambrientinos

[Aguz25]

Sólo los mediocres viven de las desgracias o glorias ajenas. Y México, futbolísticamente, lo es. Tienen el dinero pero no algo que no se compra con dinero: talento.

[NMserver]

y los argentinos? no vivimos hablando del gol de maradona del 86...

[Aguz25]

Bueno, sí, varios compatriotas lo hacen. Soy Argentino pero no de los que idolatran a Maradona ni viven presumiendo con el 86'. El primer mundial que ví con uso de razón fue el de USA, y a partir de ahí me remito.

Saludos.

[NMserver]

coincido con vos, esta lleno de pelotudos que creen que el es un dios, y ahora aparte de jugador de futbol, "padre", drogadicto, y dios TAMBIEN ES DIRECTOR TECNICO... jajaa es una multifuncion el chabon!

[RaindropsInTheDesert]

that was really a golden generation for romania.... they played with such confidence and class

[Sokram1987]

Las sorpresas del Mundial fueron Suecia, Bulgaria y Rumanía. Argentina hizo un papel mediocre como en el Mundial anterior, que llegó a la final con más pena que gloria. En 1994, se clasificó siendo 3ª de grupo, vencida por Bulgaria con un soberbio Hristo Stoichkov, siguiendo el mismo camino, pero le salió Rumanía al frente.

[Sokram1987]

El 1er gol de este partido de Dumitrescu, 4 años después, en el mundial de Francia 1998, Prosinecki lo hace clavadito en un partido ante Jamaica en la fase de grupo. Croacia tomó el relevo de Suecia en la pasada edición de 1994

[carloscastelar]

para los rumanos ganarle a Argentina en un mundial fue como ganar la copa del mundo! Hasta cortaron el gol de Balbo

[nebelbalito]

This was an awesome game...I was 16...I think the best game in that tournament...Brazil-Holland was great too

[Julianoaspampa22]

vergonha hermanos

[ghostdeck92]

we had a very good national team, now we are struggling to reach the group stages. Hope that nexgt generation will equalise them because mutu and chivu are rubbish!

[Covrig4132]

romania suntem noi!

[dboystyler]

wow aste este cel mai fain mach care am väzur in veaza mea

[HANNIBAL37ro]

the second its like 2 against half a team

[18millwall]

Bravo Hagi si Ilie Dumitrescu!

Two magnificient players!!!!!!!

[18eu]

A seleção romena jogava muito!!!

[Volumep]

Argentina was decimated . Unfortunately Romania doesn't has anymore such good players . We were the Brasil of Europe .

[Covrig4132]

numai mutu si chivu

[makalevis]

no we were the Romania of Europe.

[pacoperezabella]

Ganaron ese partido porque el arbitro los ayudo un fardo... hubo dos penales no cobrados para argentina.

Saludos.

[NMserver]

deja de hablar pelotudeces... no ves los pases que ponen? unos goles hermosos fueron.

Por mas que no te cobren penales como vos decis... admiti que ellos hicieron 3 lindos goles y vos querias hacer 3 goles de penal

[pacoperezabella]

Tranquilo papa...............

Yo estoy hablando con respeto.

Las pelotudeces que me adjudicas las tenes vos en el mate.

Hacete culiar vos y toda tu puta descendencia.

[kingoftubs]

did they win the world cup

[michaeljac82]

As a neutral fan watching the WC, this is the best game I ever watched, so entertaining, Hagi was class!

[gobenko]

I agree. Well, I wasn't so much neutral because Brazilians always will go against Argentina, but it was an amazing game, and I was really surprised by Romania winning that game.

[theodor28uzunov]

Greetings from Bulgaria!Well done boys...

[eualin92]

mandru sa fiu roman...

proud to be romanian...

[RumboDumbo]

I saw thath MATCH. What a match!!!

[xilo301]

gret team of rumania hagi was excelent at national team but not so in great europe teams, like riquelme he needed players that understand his play i guess, another player i liked was radicicoiu that played in 98 that was a great team too, have a great football seem to be south american with european speed

[zemljaikrv]

I miss all those players- football today is simply not like it was back then.

[maumatlei]

gracias rumania !!!!

[uzer81]

el segundo gol de rumania es bestial.que gran mundial fue USA 94, pero lo tenia que haber ganado Italia.lastima.

[catalizatore]

estas equivocado, si habia un ganador que debia ganar el mundial de usa 94 fue brasil y no italia, brasil fue el justo ganador

[sanches380]

Belissimo !

[LAGUISOS]

Agarra una Islas por favor!!!!

[ADHEMIROS]

Hagi magic in Third Goal...

[aceiceaceice]

cel mai tare meci pe care l-am vazut in viata mea.

[okaaan]

GALATASARAY!

[Dani97ITALIA]

wow what dribblings

[dumbie999]

Hagi NO1 , he was a hero when i was growing up - respect from scotland

[misha23us]

AUR!

[Msquare1989]

fuck off losmaces-who whin it's the best not losers-like you:D

[losmaces]

romania fucked argentina good

[dahacknat]

2nd goal was briliant, gogo romania :)

[andreand3cwae]

haha llores Maradona

[MacTobey]

the first pass by hagi is great, but the secand one is an unbelievably fantastic assist!

[pekinobo]

As a swede I hated when sweden won over Romania in 94. Damn, thoose players; Hagi, Dumitrescu, Răducioiu, Petrescu, Belodedici they should have won the world cup. Romania was the best team in 1994 WC

[EliteMKiller22]

your my hero.

[misha23us]

thank a lot man!i will never forget how kenneth andersson scored.....i like to think that we had a chance to get to the final and who knows maybe to win the tournament.i don't know when we'll have such a good team again!maybe never.....

[morocareeste]

Man, as a Romanian I love you. :)) Unfortunately, I was only 4 when Romania had that kick-ass team... I sure hope we'll get another chance, another great team. So, is it OK if I say: World Cup 2022 Final: Romania - Sweden? :D

[Covrig4132]

Yes and to see what it's devolved to now...Chivu is the only respectable player on the current team (and on the national level, perhaps Lobont and Marica).

[pluto1930]

Too classical match!thanks uploaded.

[ATROCADERO]

I remember this player "Radiciou" used to wear i believed jersey number9 if my mind still fresh he was fabulous.

[mihafreddie]

actually his name is Florin Radu Raducioiu and indeed he wore t-shirt number 9 in the national team... i'm extremely happy you remember him as being a fabulous player, one argument: he was the European top goalscorer during the qualifications for the world cup usa with 9 goals (the same number as his t-shirt :P) beating players like roberto baggio, stoichkov, etc.

[kuluku]

Great match, I still remember it.

[jirojiro1029]

Hagi teached me by that goal the meaning of waiting for the right moment before passing

He attracted 4 defenders before passing, and get the ball back, and waited again until the right moment to put it to the near post, what a goal

For me, it's definitely among the best 5 goals ever scored

[jirojiro1029]

this is still one of my favourite all time

especially second Romanian goal

[Virtualnoaidi]

Dumitrescu's second goal is probably the greatest goal ever scored. It's just beauty.

[b62rzv]

remember i almost cried, not only for romania, but mostly for hagi, who was the best in that tournament

[masumzg]

romania in 1994 - a experienced team, with young players, good coah, good passing football..... they didnt have enough luck in 90... because of the romanian revolution.... hagi later said that when he heard what was happening in romania, he feard for his family, and that is a pishologycal moment... that makes ur mind, go away from football...... that is called fear... and that is why they didnt play well in 90.

[soarlisef]

isabelinha for u Romania dosen't exists,in fact I think you never heard of Santa Claus too. Cheers

[soarlisef]

just watch the crowd,we where everywhere but not with good luck. Miss old times :(

[coldschweppes]

That Romanian team of 1994 simply broke my heart! To lose on penalty kicks after beating Columbia and Argentina, it was simply disheartening! What kind of a moron takes a kick like that?! They scored some memorable goals against the teams I mentioned above, and-in my opinion-got lucky to even tie the swedes with the second goal. If you look back to the 1990 world cup in Italy, they went home the same way:losing on penalty shots! And that shoemaker of a swedish goalkeeper, he rubbed it in good.

[alingeorgian2]

When you will beat us... you can criticise Romania.. but until beating us.. shut up argentinians! Romania is like Godfather for Argentina in football! Hagi Nr 1!!! Maradona ? A drugged!

[noetreznor2]

Fijense del 2 gol de Rumania es una obra de arte, no valgo nada al criticar ese gol de dumitrescu, es un gol de primera clase

[thekingfucker25]

romania was the best team also the most entertaining for me i remember great memories from hagi, dumitrescu , raducioui and the whole team was simply amazing, brazil was boring!!! but it was set up by fifa.

[Bibamihai]

and also the person you cal dad is not your dad.

[criveteanu]

imi vine sa plang dupa vremurile de atunci...acum nu ne-a mai ramas nimic....ne-au luat tot...pana si fotbalul

[yasemin0605]

hagi

[BulgarianTuber]

Bulgaria was good too. We got the Germans little pissed too. We are dead now days. Too many arguements.

[dlmaniac]

Romania was simply clinic in that WC. All 3 goals were brilliant, especially the 2nd one, so effortless. B4 the Argentinians knew what happened, the ball was already in the net.

[Powerline86]

That's also my opinion. The second goal was a stroke of genius.

Brillant performance of Romania

[rosu1]

There you have ladies and gentlemen the best team on 1994 World Cup! Proud to be Romanian!

[dnvlgm1]

no it wasn't the best team, the best was Brazil, yes Romania was one of the best, one of my favourite teams if you ask me but not the best by far, way way way too far from being even close to the best

[regelemihai]

in 94 they were the best...I'm convinced that if weren't disqualified by sweden, we would have AT LEAST reach the final.

[dnvlgm1]

Eliminated, not disqualified, that's right, Sweden, my friend was better, and so was Bulgaria. In all honesty I certainly would put Romania among the best 4 but not the best. This is how I think it should have been:

1. Brazil

2. Sweden

3. Bulgaria

4. Romania

[regelemihai]

sweden was certainly NOT better. they beat romania in the penalty shots. it was 2-2.

romania beat Colombia(who was the most acclaimed and favored) by 3-1 and they beat Argentina by 3-2. sorry mate...

[dnvlgm1]

you do remember the disaster colombia was, right. I mean they lost to USA , if colombia was so good how come they didn't do anything. Argentina, was beaten by colombia itself in the qualifiers at home "5-0", man! Argentina was nothing either. I know Romania lost in penalty kicks, but if romania was better why didn't they win? I mean, do you remember the game against Switzerland... I admire your passion but you have to stick to the truth, Romania wasn't the best or anything close at all

[regelemihai]

the loss colombia and argentina experienced has nothing to do with the quality of the teams. Colombia was the most critically acclaimed. Argentina had Ortega,maradona,batistuta. excuses can be made for everything in the world.

Romania didn't win out of bad luck, I've sure of it.

But I appreciate your view points...

[kurgens]

im up also in the discussion, though too late and no romanian at all. remember sweden tied to cameroon, which fell to russia 6 - 1. and remember dumitrescu should have won a penalty on a brolins foul, which was not charged by the referee...

[marsupialu]

potato-potado...

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@dnvlgm1 I disagree with Bulgaria being better than Romania. Sweden beat Romania on a penalty shootout - and only because of Florin Prunea's retard mistake. Then they beat Bulgaria with - what, 4-0? They had a harder time with Romania - ergo, Romania was better.

[rugbybraila]

cel mai mare din toate timpurile! evident dupa Dobrin

[Danezu28]

damn, that was the best romanian team ever :( i miss you ,Hagi...

[goldentzm]

The best EVER game played by the Golden Generation. AMAZING free-kick, SICK pass, run and finish for the second and a PROPER counter-attack lesson on the third.

IT HAD IT ALL ! Such a shame they couldn't go passed Sweden though, they could've easily become World Champions if they did...

MANDRU CA SUNT ROMAN !

[seville86]

si daca esti mindru de ce pizda matii nu vorbesti romana?

[namdmd]

puta ese fue un partidazo y bueno el gol de hagi una obra maestra

[aspirinasaracului]

ma bucur ca sunt ROMAN

[EL5TOABORIGEN]

HAGI ES ARGENTINO

[goldentzm]

Hahahah, he might as well could've been mate. He was THAT good :D

[pabliuchi]

marfa!!!! super tare romania!!!

[kennyshaky]

Hagi was in my oppinion one of the 3 greatest players of the world, his goal against colombia, his goal at barcelona from 48 yards, those magnifficent dribblings, goals from galatasaray ... he was a great player, better than zidane same as maradona i think

[mamaligacupeste]

bine ai spus gigifast;)

[deyu4hook]

gollllll dumitrescuu soy rumano i los rumanos somos los mas fuertes ajentes del mundo :D sin duda viva rumania hai romania

[Xraiser911]

That was the best generation of football players Romania ever had. Too bad they lost the game against Sweden in the quarter final. I agree that now the players are more interested in money and beatifull goals like those are getting rare.

[sorinaco]

Que golazos! Sin duda Hagi fue el mejor jugador de ese mundial.

[rushgeddylee]

first of all argentina made the best goal. the black guy who made that copy of a goal by maradona was good, it had to have been in the top 3. but the best goal of that year in world cup history was made by argentina against greece. the second goal was good, but the play that argentina did was much better. it was a one touch passing goal that no other team has been able to do so far, maybe in the near future, but that was the best.

[SlovenecSebastjan]

That was times! 1994 :-) I miss really 90's :-(

[equinoxe102]

Intr-adevar.. acu nu mai la bani se joaca fotbalu .. inainte eram tari ;) gg romania

[EL5TOABORIGEN]

hagi es argentino!!

[SteauaBucuresti]

Verdad hermano. Hagi played exactly like an Argentino player.

[cbak12sg]

The second Romanian goal was the best goal of the 1994 World Cup, wit two exquisite passes by Hagi, and a brilliantly timed run by Dumitrescu. Pity that BBC think the goal by the Saudi player Owairain was better.

[mauberley]

You're absolutely right. That is one of the most beautiful goals in football history - the pass out of defence to the flank in itself is a thing of immeasurable perfection.

[tdv123]

That pass from Hagi AMAZING.
